Horse Illustrated, in partnership with the ASPCA’s Right Horse program, features a weekly adoptable horse to help connect potential adopters with horses in need. This week’s spotlight is on Tristan, a 12-year-old, 12-hand pony gelding from Wild at Heart Horse Rescue in Lancaster, California. Tristan is described as an adorable and well-behaved pony with a great temperament, having been started in cart training and currently progressing in saddle training. His manageable size and gentle nature make him an ideal pony for a child.

The Right Horse Initiative, supported by the ASPCA, aims to increase horse adoption across the United States by providing an online platform to showcase adoptable horses like Tristan. Interested adopters can learn more and inquire about Tristan through Wild at Heart Horse Rescue or visit the My Right Horse website for additional adoptable and foster horses. This program brings together equine professionals and advocates to improve the lives of horses in transition.
